According to the developers, there will be support for ray tracing in the future as well. It's worth noting that the game currently supports NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology, which preserves the visual fidelity of a game while also making it run much better. The animations are fluid and exaggerated, which makes the player almost feel as if they're in an action movie. In terms of presentation, Scavengers features a semi-stylized art direction with lots of color and use of cel-shading. These weapons and abilities can be game-changers, especially when used in combination with one another. For example, Valora is a close-range brawler that can craft a powerful assault shotgun and can drop a special shield that blocks damage but allows teammates to shoot out of it, while Tarik is a marksman that can craft a high-powered sniper rifle and can use a stun trap to disorient players and enemies that walk into its area of effect. You can also run, clamber, and slide, ensuring that everyone has the same movement options available.Įach character is unique thanks to class weapons and abilities. Everyone in the match has shields that can be upgraded with collected scrap, and every character can make use of the standard weapons and useful consumables that are scattered throughout the environment. Scavengers puts you in control of one of seven characters in a third-person view, and each team is made up of three players. Therefore, players need to strike a balance between playing aggressive enough to get lots of datapoints, but conservative enough to ensure that they'll be able to get on the ship. If you aren't in the ship, you'll be abandoned on Earth and will lose everything.

Rather, you need to ensure you're on the large dropship that touches down on the map at the end of the match. However, it's important to note that unlike other battle royale games, your objective is not to be the last one standing. Eliminating other squads rewards you with their datapoints and salvage, so if you have good opportunities to kill them, you should. Of course, there are also other players to worry about.

Perimeter storms that shrink the playable areas of the map are even deadlier, though, and players will die very quickly if they get caught in them. Being in the storm does make it difficult to be spotted, however, so players in good shelter or equipped with thermal boosters may find it worthwhile to intentionally stay inside the storm to hide from opposing squads. Roaming storms, in particular, are very deadly since they immediately extinguish all fires in their area of effect and hasten how quickly you start to freeze. Notably, killing wildlife is a good way to get food to keep your stamina up (you can also occasionally find food while looting abandoned structures).īeyond killable threats, there's the weather, which slowly freezes you over the course of the match and will eventually kill you if you don't periodically warm up by seeking out fires. There is Scourge-infected wildlife, and these animals are harder to kill and do more damage compared to their normal counterparts. There's also wildlife, which includes deer, rabbits, wolves, and bears. Killing these enemies is a serious challenge, but doing so rewards you with lots of good resources and datapoints. In the later stages of each match, minibosses and bosses from these factions will spawn as well. Then, there's the Scourge, which are animalistic in nature and rush you directly in large numbers. The first are the Outlanders, which are well-coordinated human scavengers that use cover and flanking to pressure you. As players roam the map and search for sources of datapoints (this is the salvage you need to collect and extract), they'll run into three different kinds of hostiles. Scavengers is best defined as a three-sided war between your team, AI enemies, environmental threats, and other players.
